GENERAL BREVITIES. A French chemist asserts that if tea be ground like coffee, immediately before hot water is poured upon it, its > exhilarating qualities will be doubled. The latest things out in the way of combinations to regulate prices of manufactured articles are the organizations perfected in Chicago by the tombstonemakers and in Toledo by the wheelbar-row-men. The origiaof electing members by balls may be traced to the Grecians. When a member was to be elected every ©nefthrew a little pellet of bran'or crumb into a basket carried by a servant on his head around the table, and whoever dissented flattened their pellet at one side. i "Andaman Island widows wear the skulls of their deceased husbands on their shoulders. At a recent lecture on ethnology at the Royal College of Surgeons in London, Prof. Flower showed that the skull of an Andamanese, to which was attached an elegant webbed sling by which it had been suspended to the widow’s neck. The dairy business' in California is largely in the hands of the Swiss. They generally settle together and form small ' colonies, helping one another, so that •-in a few years each has a small piece of land and several cows. They reverse the usual order—instead of requiring from four to seven acres to keep a cow, keep froni four to seven cows on an acre. They, practice soiling almost exclusively. The Shanghai Courier says that marriage in China between persons of the same surname are not only null and void, but render the contracting parties, as well as the go-between who arranged the match,liable to a punishment of sixty blows. The marriage presents are, moreover, forfeited to the State. Mr. .Brown, in fact, may not marry Miss Brown, nor Miss Jones be led to the altar by Mr. Jones. Seth Green thinks that fish converse with one another. “ How’d those trout of mine out there at the pond,” he lately said, “ know the difference between a plain, long stick and a regular fishing-rod, as they do, if they didn’t talk it over and compare notes? Why, they’ll most break their heads bumping them together to get out of the way of a fish-pole, and you see I couldn’t scare them at all with that stick to-day. They! know thp. difference, too,, between the man who carries a pail about dinner . time and the man who don’t, I can tell

you. , The pretty daughter of ex-Secretary McCulloch, now in New York, rides out in a pony phaeton with* a queer-looking wooden case beside her which contains .» a fancy inlaid banjo. _ Miss McCulloch is called the best banjo-player outside of .the profession, and it is she who has set the fashion which now keeps half the “ sweet-sixteens ” in New York City a drumming and a strumming out of their school hours. Miss Doremus, daughter of Prof. Doremvs, the analytical chemist, is the next best banjoist in that city. Two Quebec children, while coasting in Valier Street, tfye other day, were suddenly overwhelmed by an avalanche of snow, and in a twinkling of an eye they were covered by 12 feet of snow. By good fortune they had been sfeen, and the most desperate efforts were made to get them out alive. It took ten minutes’ digging by as many strong nten as could work at the task to get to **" ^ fWffife the little ones lay; and they were insensible and their faces were quite — black when theair wasopenedrolbeTn; but'they were living. Mysterious burglaries were committed night after night at Hartford. Conn. The strangest thing about them was that the thief never carried off any thing of much value, leaving solid silver articles and very valuable jewelry untouched ; but he did serious damage by slashing fine upholstery, pouring molasses and oil on expensive clothing, and in other malicious ways. A large number of special policemen were put on duty to catch him, and he was at length taken. He proved to be a negro who had just been discharged from prison, where he had served three years on a charge of stealing a coat. He said that he was innocent of tMt crime, and had made up his mind try^et even with Hartford in the manrier described. In a street in Cantdn rats are hung up for sale with poultry? They are dried and salted and are very much affected by ladies whose hair is falling off, as the flesh of rats is known to be an excellent preventive of baldness. Pork is one of the staples of Chinese cookery, the best bacon and hams coming from the provinces of Fokien and Quang Tung, the flavor of the hams being much improved by keeping them for a year or two in sawdust after they have been ■ cured.

The larger of the figures marked out by the spots includes, perhaps, one-seventh of the solar disk, and is a more nearly perfect right angled triangle than the average student of geometry could draw by the eye. At each angle is an oblong, purplish spot. A magnifying power of fifty diameters readuy separates the southwestern spot into three spots, two of which are very much smaller than the other, and these three mark out a second triangle, included in the first. The effect of this peculiar arrangement is striking. Higher powers reveal details which show that tremendous forces are agitating the sun’s surface—forces probably sufficient in energy to shatter our globe, or send it spinning out of its orbit.

Late Telephone Stories. The marvels of the telephone are innumerable. At an experiment made the other day, between this city and Harrisville, near Phenix, a distance of sixteen miles, the ticking of a watch could be heard distinctly. A sentence uttered in a whisper, three feet from the transmitter, was heard at the other end of the line. Music played upon a piano standing forty feet from the telepone was heard distinctly. It is not uncom-* mon for a man to ask a question of a friend several miles away, and hear in the friend’s house or office the conversation which precedes the answering of the question. A very striking instance of this sort occurred in Hartford the other day. Mr. J. G. Batterson “ called ” one of the hotels and asked the clerk if an acquaintance was in his room and could be seen in half an hour. Keeping the telephone at his ear, Mr. Batterson heard the hotel clerk call a waiter and give the message. He heard the steps of the waiter as he went up stairs; heard Mm knock at the gentleman’s door; heard the door open; the message de- . livered; the gentleman’s reply; the returning steps of the waiter; liiscon- ; versatisn with the clerk, and was in possession of all the facts before the clerk reached the telephone to reply to the question asked.—Providence (B. I.) Journal.,

A Wronged Ensbandin Search of Legal! -Redress. Yesterday afternoon, say's the St. Louis Globe- Democrat, Mr. J. C. Normile, the State’s Attorney, was laboring over his digest in his private office. Tne snow on the roof was vanishing and trickling a drowsy tune in Ihe gutter, and ti e State Prosecutor when wearied rested his head on the back of his chair, closed his eyes, and fancied he heard agun the echoes of the lute under one of the broken arches where he rested in some of his travels. To a rap on the door he called out an , admission, and a man, well attired, apparently well-to-do, and urbane, lifted his hat. “Are you Col. Normile?” asked he, again bowing and holding his bat in one finger. The gentl eman addressed said he was often knowi as he had just been addressed. “I desire,” said the stranger looking around for a chair, still nervously making a whirligig of his hat, “ to ascertain what redress a married man has against a wife who will not support him.’;’ The Prosecuting Attorney informed the inquirer if there was any question over which ■ he had bended his legal mind it was this, In fact, he would take the inquirer so far into his innermost thoughts as to admit that the agitation of the question was in a large degree responsible for his present state of single blessedness, or misery, as the case might be. “ I will hear you further,” he added. And the stranger, still revolving his hat on his finger, replied: “ You know, she does not support me as I think I deserve.” “ So yon said; go on, for you’re making me nervous.” “ Well, is it right?” “ My dear fellow, I do not venture to give an opinion on that. I only know that wives do not often support their husbands; and I know, further, that they ofter fail to do so when they are expected.” “ You see my wife indulges) herself in many luxuries, while lam debarred.” “ I see, I see,” responded the prosecutor, moving his feet around.. “ Yes, sir, she takes her lunch at a cafe, and I often have to steal mine at a free lunch counter.” “Ah! yes; that is deplorable, and I suppose she stains her lips with the vintage, the nectar which the gods revel in so ofttjn?” “ How ?” asked the new comer, putting the brakes on his hat. “I mean she drinks wine while you have to drink beer.” “ You are on it; you’ve got her down fine.” - “ And I dare say she encases her diminutive feet in silk balbriggans of the most exquisite texture and delicate shade, while yours are covered with the commonest brown British half-hose.” “Yes; sometimes yarn;” and he put his feet under the chair as if he might expose what he did wear.

“ And sfiegoes to the theater, has a reserved seat in the dress-circle, while you go In the gallery?” “ Ye.% while 1 stay outside.” “And goes home in a carriage, while you go home in a car?” “ Ye.<|, while I walk; and she doesn’t go hone in a carriage alone, either.” “Thit’s had; and you want redress?’! “Yes, sir,” and he drew up near the criminal lawyer. “ Yes, I seq, I see. Well—yes—let me see—yes—yum—yes, yes. Now, you know Mr. Bliss, the United States district Attorney—has an office in the Government Building—Post-office?” “Ilhinkldo.” “ Weil, you go and see him. The Government, my boy, don’t you see, makes a speciality of redress eases.” “ Thank you._Mr. Bliss, yon said ? ” And he departed, leaving the lawyer at his digest. Clirybing the iron stairway, the stranger found a fraction of the Government on deck, who received him with the stateliness becoming his position. To hrjn he stated the ease minutely. “ Who sent you (here with such blank nonsense as this?” asked the fraction of the United States. “Mr. Normile.” “Humph! Did he? Well, you go back and tell Mr. Normile that it is too late to receive valentines, and mot early enough for the First of April.” “Ifut, Mr. Bliss-” “^here's no but about it. I’ve no time to waste.” “ Allow me ——” “No, sir; I want you to get out.” Th e inquirer descended with a goodbye look on his face, and Mr. Bliss sent word to Mr. Normile that if he had any husbands whose wrongs he wanted redressed he had better attend to them hims elf ; and suggested that Mr. Normile had better do more hanging and less joking. Bargains in Batter. k- btouhgA “ Here comes Bobby from Sleepy Hollow with a load of butter. We’re short, arn’jt we, Jonas?” “ [Yes, all gone but the bad lot, and they are all crying for something good.” Bobby, from his wagon—“ Mr. Nipper,: I’ve got some butter for ye.” Nipper is busy and does not hear. “ Hello there, Nipper; come and see this'butter!” Nipper slowly closes his order book, directs the delivery boy to hop around with the cod-fish, shifts a yellow ham, near the door, from one peg to another, cocks his stovepipe hat on the back of his bald head, thrusts a. thumb in each arm-hole of his vest, and shuffles slowly towards the street, as though about to squint at the state of the weather. “Why, Robby, what yegot there?” “ Butter, Mr. Nipper.’’ '.!* Butter, hey? Now' if ye had eggs I might buy. Butter’s dull, Robby; the town’s full of butter.” 4 Is that so? Daisy heard as it had

gcpe up. “ Gone ud—well, yen; gone up the splint. Diet;, take them turnips to Richfirger,” turning away. .. “ Won’t ve look at tliis lot, Mr, Nippet?” “Robby, we’re full. Jonas was jest' savin’ he couldn’t store another tub Tie town’s glutted—glutted, Robby; and heaps of it spoiling in , New York, and no buyers.” K “ But this is an extra fine lot, from tl e best feed of the pasture with the spring brook in it, where ye used to catch trout, Mr. Nipper; and Daisy made it with her own hands..” “ Yes, yes; but it looks salvy-like— w orked too much—no texture, you see, and full of buttermilk; won’t keep, Bobby, won’t keep. Then it lacks the gilt-edged tone and flavor. What do ye ask for it?” “Well, Daisy thought as how she orter hev fifteen cents.” “Too high; can’t buy; good mornin’.” “ See here, Nipper, what’ll ye give? ” “ Robby, if I give ye ten cents for that butter, Jonas will be as mad as a toiled lobster—Jonas will swear and make things lively. But you’re an old friend, ana I’m gout’ to do it, and take the consequences.” mxpn). “Richfinger, come this way; I can show yon an awful nice lot of butter; there it is. That’s what I call elegant; made by Daisy Buttercup, the neatest and prettiest girl in the country. I used 1o spark her mother before she married. She’s dead now; old friends, ye see, and can’t help deaiin’. Look at the color— there’s dandelions and buttercups; look

at the texture— as free from salve as snowflakes, and if ye find a hair or bug I’ll make ye a present of it. Smell of it —I dare say' ye can scent the clover blossomy. Taste of it; notice the tone, the mellowness, the aroma—equal to cream candy any time. What do ye hink of it, Richfinger?” “ What’s the price Nipper P” “Twenty-five cents, to an old customer.” “ Pretty high, isn’t it?” “ That depends on what ve’re buyin’. Grease is grease, and butter is butter. If ye want grease I can sell for less; but if ye want to lay in the best grade, the gilt-edged, the gold-leaf, as it were, June butter—butter that’ll keep, mind ye; ye might go further and fafe worse. Let me tell ye that butter is on the rise; the town is cleared out, and them New York chaps are out lookin’ up round lots. That means a foreign demand, and great scarcity, sir—great scarcity.”— Rural New Yorker. Notes of Deportment. Keep your nails pared, and keep paired yourself. Single-blessedness is an empty mockery. Toe out, not in. Especially if you are an employer, you would better turn out your feet than your hands. Keep your face cleanly shaved, and stop there. Don’t shave your customers. Don’t talk1 with your mouth filled with food. And there is no calMor your talking much under normal conditions. Keep your clothing well brushed. If you have no brush, tell ypur wife how you long for your mother’s cookery, and you will have one instanter. See that your collar button is secure before you leave home in the morning. Else you will find your choler rising before night. When talking, don’t keep fumbling your face, as though you were fingering a musical instrument. Don’t smoke in the presence of ladies. This does not apply to the meerscham and brier pipes your lady friends have given you from time to time. Smoke in these ladies’.presents as often as you please. Don’t walk the streets with your cane or umbrella thrust under your arm at right angles with your body. The policeman may take you for a cross and take you up. Don’t interrupt a person in his talk. The natural limit of man’s life is three score years and ten, and he can’t go on forever. Never put your knife in your mouth. The mouth is a very poor place to keep a knife. Apt to made it rusty Don’t tuck your napkin under your shirt collar. The waiter may think you would steal it. Never say “ I won’t,” even if it be your wont to feel that way. Don’t speak so low that you have to be asked to repeat every thing that you have said. The second time of saying a thing will frequently impress you with its flatness. Don’t speak so loud that every body’s ears are outraged. It may injure your tiaehea.—Boston Transcript.

Spiders that Kill Birds. Every body knows that spiders catch flies and other insects; but that some of them kill little birds may not be so generally known. A traveler in Brazil tells us that he caught one of them in the very act, while going through a forest in the Amazons. The spider was a hairy fellow, with a body two inches long, and eight legs measuring seven inches each, from end to end. The writer, describing the incident,says: “ I was attracted by a movement of the monster on a tree trunk; it was close beneath a deep crevice in the tree, across which was stretched-—a dense white web. The lower part of the web was broken, and two small birds, finches, were, entangled in the pieces. One of them was quite dead, and the other nearly so. I drove away the monster, and took the birds, but the second one soon died. The fact of species of Mygale, to which genus this spider belongs, sallying forth at night, mounting trees, and sucking the eggs and young of hum-ming-birds, has been recorded long ago by Madam Merian and Palisot de Beauvois;, but, in the absence of any confirmation, it has come to be discredited. From the way the fact has been related it would appear that it had been merely derived from the report of natives, and had not been witnessed by the narrators. The Mygales are quite common insects; some species make their cells under stones, others form artistical tunnels in the earth, and some build their dens in the thatch of houses. The natives call them Aranhas carangueijeiras, or crabspiders. The hairs with which they are clothed come off when touched,' and cause a peculiar and almost maddening irritation. The first specimen that I killed and prepared was handled incautiously, and I suffered terribly for three days afterward. I think this is not owing to any poisonous quality residing in the hairs, but to their being short and hard and thus getting into the fine creases of the skin. Some Mygales' are of immense size. One day I saw the children belonging to an Indian family with one of these monsters secured by a cord round its waist, by which they were leading it about the house as they would a dog.” TaU Soldiers Needed to Take Holland. “A good story is current,” says Galignani, “of Prince Alexander, of Holland. The Prince, a young man of rather staid and literary tastes, paid a visit to Berlin last summer, and a review was given in his honor by the Imperial Court. Military pageants, as our readers are aware, form an integral part of every grand reception in the Prussian Capital, but Prince Alexander, with little inclination for soldiery* sat in silent contemplation while the troops were defiling before him. All at once the Crown Prince drew his guest’s attention to a Uhlan regiment, with the remark that they were ‘a fine body of men.’ ‘Yes,’ replied Prince Alexander, ‘but they are not tall enough.’ This reply, delivered with the traditional Dutch phlegm, a little surprised his interlocutor, who, however, merely observed, * Very well; then you must see my cuirassiers.’ The cuirassiers, erect in their saddles like men-at-arms of the Middle Ages, went by in breast-plates and plumes. * Well, what do you think of them?’ asked Prince Fritz. ‘ Splendid men, but not taH enough.’ Still more piqued than astonished at his unexpected response, the heir to the Crown of Germany exclaimed, • Indeed; then wait tilt you see the regiments of the Guard.’ In due time these magnificent six-footers made their appearance, and the same query feU from the lips of the Crown Piince. ‘They are not tall enough,’ very quietly returned Prince Alexander, adding gently, but meaningly* * we can flood our country when we choose twelve feet deep.’ ” “Young man,’’ said an orator impressively, “do you want to go to a drunkard’s grave?” “Well,” replied the young man, with the careless grace of a man who isn’t accustomed to refusing, “ I don’t care if I do. Whereabouts is your grave ?”—Burlington Bawkeye. William W. Astok, who has a rentroll of 20,000 houses in New York City, and an income of f800,000 a year, is the smallest man in the New York Senate.

MISSOURI STATE NEWS. llbekBeckers, aged 18, brother of A. M. Beckers, a prominent lumberman of Jefferson City, accidentally shot and killed him•etf on Che 13th at Capt. Beckers’s, some eight miles from town. He came up from St. Louis a few days ago and went out to the farm to work, and, in taking dowS: from a shelf a loaded revolver, by some means discharged it, the ball penetrating his forehead, causing instant death. The case of Martin, charged with the murder of Miser in Laclede County, occupied the attention of the Circuit Court at Lebanon during a whole week, and the Jury on the 13lh returned a verdict of guilty as charged in the indictment. There is a movement on foot to construct a $600 telephone line from Glasgow to Fayette. The Moberly Building and Loan Association has voted an increase of its capital stock to $300,000. On Saturday the 7th inst., Mr. Ausley Elder, son of J. G. Elder, wasinstantly killed at a house-raising in Laclede County. Anderson B. Goss and Richard Pierce were arrested in Tom Township, St. Clair County, about two weeks ago, charged with complicity in the death of Hattie Dowell. Two young men, Oswald Vaughan and Ben Ford, were thrown from a horse in the suburbs of Glasgow a few days ago. They were both riding the same home. Ford was killed. Young Vaughan had. several ribs broken. C Mrs. Nancy Snell, the oldcsF citizen of Howard County, if not of the St3R, died at her home two and a half miles east of Fayette on Monday morning, January 26. Mrs. Snell was born in Augusta County, Va„ April 8, 1788, consequently had she lived until the 7th of April next she would have been one hundred and two^years of age. Her offspring—children, grandchildren, etc., number over three hundred and fifty. I, William Jackson and David Wilburs, convicts in the Penitentiary, fought on the night of the 11th, and Jackson was badly stabbed. Charles Reynolds, who a few ^Beks ago left Madison County and moved to Pilot Knob, met with a fatal accideut. One night, while engaged in' mining in a drift, a blast, which should have been fired by a previous set of hands at 12 o’clock, was carelessly delayed. At four o’clock Reynolds and two or three other men entered the drift Just at the fatal moment when the blast exploded. Reynolds was killed instantly by a large rock falling on him, mangling his body in a frightful manner, and another mam had his thigh l

DroKen. The fireman on the second section ot freight train No. 22, going east, met with a -miraculous escape from instant death on the loth. While crossing Beaver Bridge, four miles west of Bolia, and while out on the engine tinkering with the pump,rhe lost his fooling and fell over the bridge to the ground, a distance of thirty-five feet, receiving hut a few slight braises. Had the fall been delayed ten seconds the tumble would have been about ninety feet. How lie escaped with his life is a miracle. There was a meeting of the stockholders representing nearly all the stock of theBoonville Bridge Company at Boonville on the 14th, at the office of the Central National Bank. The old Directors were all re-elect-ed, and the following officers, all New York men, were elected for the ensuing year: James M. McLean, President; C. D. Wood, Vice-President; H.B. Henson, Secretary; J. H. Oglebie, Treasurer. The net earnings of the Iron Mountain Koad for 1S79 are said to exceed $3,k)0,Q00, or $300,000 more than is required to pay all its interest and fixed charges. This accounts for the heavy movement of late in the bonds of this company. The Governor has granted a full pardon to William Estell, of Howard County, sentenced December, 1870, to be hanged fof the killing of one Jefferson, which sentence was commuted by Gov. Br^"."_ to twelve years in the Penitentiary, from ®the 10th ^f said month. In 1877 a petition was presented to the Governor praying for a pardon, signed by Gn>6ircttH«H»«gerPr0sccuting Attorney,, and many others, but-Hie Governo«?tofused to grant the prayer, believing that the prisoner's sentence was subject to the tisual discount under the good-behavior rule. Under a recent decision of the Supreme Court it was held that a commuted sentence of imprisonment was not subject to the statutory reduction of twenty-five per cent., and this was the ground on which a full pardon was granted. Matthew Johnson was instantly killed on the ISth, at St. Louis, white pursuing his vocation as carpenter at the Vulcan Iron Works, by falling from the roof of the building. At Kansas City, early on the morning ol the 18th, John Todd, a night v\ atchman,was found dead in the Grimes Building. A postmortem examination was held, and it was found that a number of Todd’s ribs on the right side were broken, and that the kidneys were ruptured, producing hemorrhage. These injuries were caused by the deceased falling from a stairway leading from the first to the second floors. He was 05 years of age, and leaves a wife and six grown-up children. Dr. M. Hernsteil, a well known and prominent farmer residing eight miles from Jefferson City, was seriously injured the night of the 10th by a vicious mule. The lower part of the Doctor’s face and jaw was in a terrible condition from the accident, the flesh being more or less tom off. A farmer named H. Higgins, living three mileS south of St. Joseph, went to town on the 14th, became intoxicated, started home in his wagon, and fell out, the wheel passing over his head, killing him instantly. He leaves a wife and two children. Mr. Geo. W. Swetnam, oldest son of Elder J. S. Swetnam, was instantly killed in a coal mine near Hickory Grove Church, Monroe County, oh Saturday, the 7th. He was digging coal, when the earth above gave way, and two large bowlders fell on him, crushing him. The citizens of Sedalia are raising a fund for the purchase of a monument to be erected over the grave of W. H. Mugford, who recently died in that city.

How to Get Rid ot Gossips. A poor woman much given to gossipttht anxious to soar to higher things, is 'explaining to Miss Hopkins for means for ridding her house of the gossip of the neighborhood. In answer to a remark of Miss Hopkins, that “ the Bible tells us to be courteous, and that to turn folks out of our house, however much in the way they may be, is apt to look rude,” she replies: “ The first thing I did was to get the brush and dust-pan, and lay them handy ’gainst any neighbor corned in. Soon in pops Mrs. Smith. ‘Mrs.. Smith,’ says,I, ‘you won’t mind my doing a bit of duttin’ will you, while you’re talkin’? Of course she couldn’t but be agreeable to that. So down on my knees Igoes, and begins to dust with all my might. But somehow, was a very curious thing, and the dust it alius would gather just under the chair my neighbor was a-sittin, on. She’d shift and shift, but I’d alius be arter her with nay old dust-pan; and the dust ’ud get up her nose, and she’d begin to sneeze ever--' so—ketcher! ketcher!— and soon she’d say. ‘ Well, I think— ketcher—I’ll call m another day, Mrs. Simpson, as I see von are—ketcher! busy.’ And so, in less than a week, I had dusted all my neighbors out of my house.”—London Spectator. Four pounds and 14 ounces of fine white powder was all that was left of the remains of Miss Dolly Hartman after passing through the crematory process at Dr. Le Moyne’s furnace in tVashington, Pa. It is said to have been the most successful cremation yet accomplished. At the meetings of the American clergy in colonial times, the room was often dark with the smoke of tobacco and the steam of hot rum, says Mr. James Parton. HOriqinallt woman was man’s sequel.

FARM AND GARDEN Cows that produce milk rich in butter are not always profitable for cheesemaking. Dairymen should endeavor to secure the breed best adapted for the particular branch they wish to follow. An observant traveler through Central Mississippi is convinced by the large and thrifty fig-trees there that they will be perfectly hardy as far north as thirtyfive degrees, and, with a little protection in unusually cold weather, will do fairly in thirty-five degrees latitude. Tneir culture has been hindered by the want of facilities for transportion, the lack of a handy market, t&c difficulty of keeping mature figs, and the feeling that the negro will not work so long as he can lie under a tree and eat all the delicious fruit he wants to pick. But there seems to be promise of a new departure in the matter, by the establishment in various sections of such fruit-canning establishments as are already running in New Orleans. The movement has, however, apparently not yet progressed beyond Diseased Fowls.—Procure one pound of. wood charcoal, pulverize it coarsely, and mix with it half a pound of common table salt. To half a pint of this mixture, add one quart of cornmeal and bran, half and half. Mix well and feed to about six or seven fowls. Procure some hard coal screenings and place within reach. Feed occasionally a few oats. Always keep some old iron in the drinking water; give all the outdoor exercise you possibly can; even' chase them round a little. Place-plenty of straw for them, to scratch among for exercise. Throw some small grain among this to eneourage scratching. Above all, give pure air and keep perfectly clean. I find a little kerosene— the commoner the better,—to be a fine preventive of disease and lice of all kinds. Smear this sdl along the perches; also under the straw in the laying boxes. This is a disinfectant and deodorizer also. On cold days be careful ; on warm ones give them air.— Wm. Home, V. S., in Country Gentleman.

Rhubarb.—This plant requires so little labor in its cultivation and is at once so healthful and delicious that every garden should contain a supply for home use. With the exception of forking up in the spring and working in manure once every season, rhubarb plants require little attention until they have remained in the same spot five or six' years. At the end of this time, they should be divided and put in new soil, or the stalks will increase in number to such an extent that they will crowd each Other and be of very small size. It is well to transplant a few roots every season, so as to have a succession of plants that are in their best condition. The plants should not stand on soil where the roots will reach soil that is ordinarily wet, as they will rot in consequence. As a sufficient number of roots for the supply of a family occupy but very little space, they should receive the best sort of dressing. The ground where they stand should be spaded deep, and enriched with well rotted manure and ashes. The roots should stand at least two feet apart, as the leaves when at full size will cover and. shade considerable ground. . The plants should never be allowed to ripen seed unless some is wanted for sowing. As soon as a seedstalk appears, it must be broken off. If it is allowed to remain till it is quite large, it will exhaust the roots; and, if it is broken off when it becomes hard, it will hold water and cause the roots it springs from to ‘rot. When the stocks are.wanted for cooking or drying, they should Jbe severed by twisting or pulling them off. If a knife is used for cutting off the leave’s, a stump is left, w’hieh will decay and injure the root. No leaves should be pulled from the plants the season they are set out. They are needed to produce a large root for the supply of stalks in the future. At no time during the summer should the leaves be pulled to spell an extent as to injure the condition of the plant. If it is’ considered desirable to have very long stalks, remove the head from a barrel and place it over the plant very early in the spring. —N. Y. Weekly Herald. Neatness of the Barn.—The Country Gentleman gives the following excellent and much needed advice: “ It is hot necessary for the farmer to build a highly ornamental edifice in order to have a neat and aetractive appearance in his barn and about his barn-yard. Specimens of neatness and purity are sometimes seen where the owner could afford only cheap and imperfect structures. The management depends on the man— not so much on the character of his buildings. Nevertheless, when the owner takes the pains and incurs the expense df finished erections, he will be more likely to feel an interest in keeping every thing in and about them in good condition. It must be confessed that there is great room for improvement m the majority of farmers in this country, although much progress has been made, and a number—happily a very large number—are models in this respect. We have seen barns and stables kept as neat as a parlor. Some men think this is attended with too much trouble and labor—like the boy who combed his hair once a month’, and, finding it difficult and painful, was unable to comprehend how any one could endure to do it every day. It is not the process of cleaning that we recommend, but keeping clean, A nurseryman was asked how he killed the weeds in his

thirty-hve acre grounds, “1 do not kill them,” was his answer. “I allow none to enter or grow.” We mention a few examples of deficient care in this particular. Among good managers the common recommendation and use of Unsure cellars is a frequent cause of foul air, which more or less pervades the building, injures the sweetness of the hay ana compels cattle and horses to-breath noxious odors. Manure should never be kept in a barn basement without the constant use of enough absorbent, in the shape of straw, chopped stalks, sand or dry peat to hold all the effluvia. The difficulty will be much lessened as farmers learn the advantages of drawing and spreading manure in winter, as we have frequently recommended. But care is necessary, even ior the small daily accumulations. No animal is so badly abused as the pig, in being thrust into apartments which are permitted to become polluted from neglect. The hired man, to whom we gave the pigs in charge, thought it a great hardship that we required him to clean their floor thoroughly twice a day. But he ultimately found it much the easiest on the long run, as each daily cleaning was a mere nothing. Pigs are naturally cleanly, if they are only permitted to be so, and when comfortably provided for thrive belt >r and fatten faster; and one would think the farmer would prefer to eat such pork to that taken out of a manure hole. Sweep the barn floor often, sweep out the horse stalls at least twice a day, provide clean and dry litter for all animals, give them pure water, let their food, be sweet and nourishing, avoid all fetid accumulations, shelter your barnyard from cold winds by evergreens and keep every square foot of ground about your buildings free from offensive rubbish, and you will not only preserve more self-respect for this care, but will enjoy the pleasure of giving comfort tot the living creatures under your control, and what is not least in the eves of money making managers yon will derive a greater profit, preserve your buildings from decay ami have a place that will sell at a higher pace if you should wishto dispose of it.

HOME INTERESTS. Souk Ceeam Biscuits.—Thoroughly dissolve two level teaspoonfuls of soda and a little salt in a pint of sour cream, find mix in flour until you have a dough that is soft as can possibly be handled and cut into biscuits. Bake immediately in a hot oven. Cream Hash.—Mince any nice, cold, fresh meat or ham, place in a spider, and cover with sweet cream or milk; add butter, .pepper and salt to taste; let it come to a boil, and pour over nicely browned toast, if wished for tea or breakfast; if wished for dinner serve by itself to be eaten with mashed potatoes Tapioca Custard.—Soak three large tablespoonfuls of tapioca over night in a pint of cold water; the next morning add one quart of milk, a little salt, and boil; four eggs, one-half cupful of sugar: flavor with lemon or vanilla; a meringue can be made from the whites of the eggs by adding a little.powdered sugar, and browning it in the oven. Fried Cakes.—Take one cupful of sour cream, one cupful of buttermilk, two cupfuls of sugar, three eggs, two level teaspoonfuls of soda, a little salt, and fine ground cinnamon; add flour sufficient to roll out; fry in very hot lard. One reason why fried cakes are so often soggy and full of fat, is that the lard was not boiling. It should be hot enough to make the cakes puff up and cook on the outside almost instantly, before the lard has a chance to penetrate to the inside. Boston Cream Cakes.— One-half pint water and two-thirds cup butter boiled together; while boiling stir in two cups of flour; set away to cool: when cool, add five eggs and a pinch of soda, and beat a long time — until thoroughly mixed. For the Cream.—One pint of milk;, six spoonfuls of sugar, two eggs, and a tablespoonful of cornstarch moistened with some of the milk; boil the milk, then add the eggs and sugar. Flavor with lemon or vanilla. Baked Meat "with Potatoes.— Pare niee potatoes, cutting large ones in two, and place them in a drippingpan. Take a good roasting piece of either beef, mutton, pork, or veal, season well with pepper and salt, and put it atop of the potatoes, and. bake in s brisk oven. The meat should be fat enough to make sufficient drippings to baste with, otherwise butter or good lard should be added. No water is needed until about ten minutes before the meat is done, when a little should be and; in the pan, and the meat should be judged with flour. Alter the meat and potatoes are dished, a nice gravy should be made from the drippings ir the pan. Baked Cabbage Balls.—Take a large, firm cabbage, b^il whole in sail and water till tender'enough to eat, but not to fall to pieces; then lay in cold water till ready for use, or until perfectly cold. Take the leaves from the stalk without breaking them, lay three or font together open on the table until yon have a dozen piles. Fry an onion and chop fine with remainder of the cabbage leaves, season lightly with salt and pepper, and mix in a pound of highly sea soned sausage meat, make into balls' and lay them on your cabbage leaves,. roll the cabbage leaves around them, and tie firmly with a soft string; lay them in a baking-pan with half a pint of stock or gravy, and bake for 20 minutes in a moderately hot oven. A Tough Dog,

Cats have been credited with a large number of lives* but a dog which belongs to a gentleman living at Ashburton, in Devonshire, may fairly compete with any specimen of the feline race. Accompanying his master on a shooting expedition, the dog fell into a mine-shaft, to a depth of some sixty-six feet. As he tumbled down the narrow* boring, his master distinctly heard his body striking against the earth and rock. For some time those who took an inter-’ est in the creature listened to hear if any sound of pain came up from the depths below, but, as all was silent^ they lost hope of the dog being a live, and, in the course of time, almost forgot him. Considerably more than a month elapsed, when one day4 a howl was heard to proceed from the pit's mouth. Very quickly a miner was sent for and lowered, when, to the amazement of every body who watched the proceedings, the longlost dog was sent up, in a sadly emaciated condition, it is true, but still alive and able to eat. It bad been incarcerated in its prison for forty-three days and nights. So far as can be ascertained, it had only* had water to live upon throughout the whole of that period/ The weight of the dog when lost was fifty-six pounds. Four days after it had been taken out of the shaft, it weighed only -thirty pounds. Yet it is still alive and doing well, rapidly recovering from the privations which it has suffered.—London Telegraph. » A number of Irishmen hold commands in the armies both of Chili and Peru. The chief officer of the Peruvian artillery is a Ccd. O’Horgan, and, according to the Gazette of Lima, there are five Majors, thirteen Captains, and over two score of officers of inferior grade either Irish by birth or descent, fighting in the army*of Peru, while the Irish element in the victorious forces of the hostile republic is even greater. ^ There is nothing that fowls will devour more greedily than raw bone when it is broken into bits. Mills that will break up bones can be had for a few dollars. 4 From a piillagnlahod Physician. 1’hof. Cbeex, a distinguished allopathic plmician, wrote to the Medical Memnt, of Atlanta, tla., to the effect that after ail other means hail failed, he sent, for the Kidney Cure, (Safe Kidney and Liver Cure), arid to his astonishment cured a serious ease of Bright’s Disease by administering it, and afterwards found it equally beneficial in other , cases.
